a potential primary source which is part of a facility that undergoes major reconstruction. Such reconstruction shall be deemed to have taken place where the fixed capital cost of the new components constructed within a 2-year period exceed 50% of the fixed capital cost of a comparable entirely new facility [415 ILCS 5/3.345].
“New Potential Route” means:
a potential route which is not in existence or for which construction has not commenced at its location as of January 1,1988; or

“New Potential Secondary Source”:
means a potential secondary source which:
is not in existence or for which construction has not commenced at its location as of July 1, 1988; or

is part of a facility that undergoes major reconstruction. Such reconstruction shall be deemed to have taken place where the fixed capital cost of the new components constructed within a 2-year period exceed 50% of the fixed capital cost of a comparable entirely new facility [415 ILCS 5/3.355]; but
excludes an agrichemical facility that modifies on-site storage capacity such that the volume of the pesticide storage does not exceed 125% of the available capacity in existence on April 1, 1990, or the volume of fertilizer storage does not exceed 150% of the available capacity in existence on April 1, 1990; provided that a written endorsement for an agrichemical facility permit is in effect under Section 39.4 of the Act and the maximum feasible setback is maintained. This on-site storage capacity includes mini-bulk pesticides, package agrichemical storage areas, liquid or dry fertilizers, and liquid or dry pesticides. [415 ILCS 5/14.2(g)(4)]
“Potential Primary Source” means any unit at a facility or site not currently subject to a removal or remedial action which:
is utilized for the treatment, storage, or disposal of any hazardous or special waste not generated at the site; or
is utilized for the disposal of municipal waste not generated at the site, other than landscape waste and construction and demolition debris; or
is utilized for the landfilling, land treating, surface impounding or piling of any hazardous or special waste that is generated on the site or at other sites owned, controlled or operated by the same person; or
